For those who struggle to find the best way to carry extra magazines for your Kahrs like I have for years, here's a possibility. I stumbled across it by accident, like sometimes happens.

The Kahr single stack mags are slim and short. They don't fit well in many of the off-the-shelf magazine holders. And the top round in Kahr magazines needs to be supported somewhat, or they're prone to popping out if too much room is given.

The Lowes near my house, in the tool section, on the aisle where they sell tool bags, pouches, etc., has a small, camoflaged, cell phone case. Velcro flap, rigidly mounted steel spring clip, and belt loops for both vertical and horizontal carrry.

It will hold 2 P380/LCP, CW or PM magazines side by side perfectly. It will also hold 2 Bianchi speed strips of .38 or .357 ammo. In the horizontal belt loop, carried at 11 o'clock, it is the most comfortable, unobtrusive way to carry magazines I've ever found. I'm buying up lots of them.

The mags need to be carried rotated so that the bullet tips don't show through the little vented area at the bottom of the case. If you get one, you'll see what I mean.

Works good on the belt, or just clipped to a pocket. The clip is stout.

They are really nifty. I haven't found anything wrong with carrying my Kahr mags this way, or speed strips for my revolvers. I've got a box full of other mag/speedloader holders that were made to carry those that don't work as well as these.

Even turned, I didn't like the mags showing in "the gap". It just doesn't look like a phone. But I bet you can paint it with a marker or something. Just be sure some sleepy morning you don't answer your cell with a mag. Now, that might be noticeable.
